2 weeks ago


Two weeks ago I ran 26.2 miles in one day. Since that day...
-The greatest distance I ran was from the porch to the car (the car that was in the driveway)
-I Enjoyed pumpkin pie, ice cream, and Halloween candy
-I Drank more chocolate milk than the girls- possibly combined...
-I Drained 2 black toe nails
-I Hurt for a week straight
-I signed up to do it all again in May
I really am liking this running thing. I weight less than the number on my license- who does that? I usually have more energy- not directly after a long run. I am feeling healthier and scored better on my health insurance screening than David. And it's pretty cool to be able to say you have run a marathon.
After a 2 week hiatus, I start running again tonight!

Which marathon are you doing in May? I am WAY proud of you. (Does that sound odd?) Anyway...great job with training and completing your 1st marathon. It sounds like you are super healthy!

NICE! Way to go, EJ! I'm still not hooked on running, but I am still planning on doing a marathon next September. I just want to be able to say I've done it. I have no intention of doing it again - think I'm more of a triathlon type. :)

YOU ROCK!!!!!!! Go, Em! I love all of your "Since the marathon I..." statements. Beautiful. P.S. Your kids are adorable. To that husband of yours: Good job getting old ;o) I messed up my back recently too. Stupid tall people.
